David Malcolm "Dave" Adams (1938 – 19 March 2016) was a British singer, keyboard player and songwriter.

Born in Jersey, he began working with Joe Meek in 1958 and continued to work with him until Meek's death in 1967.[1] In the early 1960s, he helped build up Meek's studio. He recorded singles with him under various pseudonyms and wrote songs for him. He was part of the production of Telstar; a "second stage demo" of him playing the tune exists. He was also a member of Heinz Burt's backing band The Wild Boys along with Ritchie Blackmore.[2]

He later lived in Buffalo, New York. His daughter, Dee Adams writes and performs music as a solo artist, with a country-rock band called Dee and the Housecats, and with a jazz band called The Funny Valentines.
